SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,892, dated. June 20, 17893. Application filed October 14, 1892. Serial No. 448,822. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, ALBERT G. SCHMIDT, a subject of the German Emperor, residing in Newark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichl it appertains to make and use the same, referand to letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my present invention is to provide a portable stove, simple and durable in construction, great in efficiency, and which stove, by means of its peculiar construction can .be used for warming er heating one or more apartments at the same time. y

The invention consists in the novel and pecombination and arrangement of the various parts thereof, substantially, as will be herein- Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures.

Figure lis a perspective view of the stove. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section through Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on lines .ry of Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 a sectional view ou linea of Fig. 2.

In said drawings b represents the stove, provided with bottom plate lo and top plate'i, securely fastened together by bolts o or in anydesired manner.

Within the stove is arranged a partition d, separat-in g the {ire-place and-grate e, from the fresh air supply chamber fl. The upper portion of said partition `is cupola shaped and is provided with a pipe f, extending through top plate i, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the draw- 1n0s.

L)Within the cupola shaped portion of the fire-place, but below the tube f are arranged two metallic plates g and h, one a certain distance above and overlapping the other, and are adapted to serve as smoke consumers. The bottom plate 7c is provided with an air inlet or opening n, and the. top plate with opening or outlet lm.

On top of said stove and resting on plate t are arranged alternately a series of chambers w and g, formed by the metallic plates r and s and the side frames 3 and 5 respectively. The frames 3 are preferably made .ont of tiles and are secured to the metallic plates by cement or in any desired manner; the frames 5 are made out of metal and are provided with a series of slots; which bythe old style of sliding plates can be opened or closed, as will be manifest. This sliding arrangement is not shown in the drawings, and requires no further description, as I have made no claim thereon. Each of the metallic plates r and s is provided with a centrally located opening and with two openings arranged radially around said central opening, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. In said openings are arranged or inserted tubes or pipes u and t, connecting the chambers w and q respectively. The top c is also provided with a centrally loca'ted opening 6 and with two side openings, the latterones being connected together by a tube o. Said opening 6 may be provided with -a damper (not shown in the drawings) or can be connected to a tube, by means of which the heated air is carried into other sectionsof the building, as will be manifest. The chambers q are also provided with division plates 2 (Fig. 3) (arranged substantially in a plane with the division plate d of the stove b), thus providing two compartments 7 and 8 in each of said chambers. (Fig. 2.)

ln operation, the heat and smoke will pass through tubevf into compartment 7 of the lowest chamber q and from there through connecting tubes t into the corresponding compartments of the chamber q arranged above. Through the connecting tube n on top of the stove, and through connecting tubes t, the smoke and heat from the fire will enter the various compartments 8 of chambers q, and will be finally discharged through tube p into the chimney. By this circulation, the air containedin the chambers w is thoroughly heated, and can either be let out through the slots in the frames 5 into the room in which the stove is placed, or can-as heretofore stated-be carried into distributing pipes, if desired.

As can be seen from the drawings, the tube p before entering the chimney passes through the fresh air supplying chamber 4, whereby IOO ` struction shown and described, as various alterations can be .made without changing the scope of my invention, but What I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. In a stove the combination-with the {ireplace and the fresh air supply chamber, of a plate arranged on top of said tire-place and said air supply chamber, a tube on said fire place and extending through said plate, and two series of chambers arranged alternately" on said plate, one uof said series being con" nected with the tube on the tire-place andthe l other series-with the air supply chamber, all said parts, substantially as described andfor .the purposes set forth. v

2. In a stove, the combination with the tireplace and the fresh air chamber, of two seriesv of chambers arranged alternately above said {ire-place, one of said series being connected with the said lire-place, the other series-with the air supply chamber and atube extending through the air supply chamber and adapted to connect the first series of chambers with the chimney, all said parts, substantially as described and for the purposes set forth. 3. In a stove, the combinatiouwith the fire place y and fresh air supply chamber, of' two se- A place and air supply chamber, of a cupola top 'arranged on said fire-place, two metallic plates arranged in said cupola top and overlapping each other, two series of chambers arranged alternately7 above the lire place, one of said series being connected with the cupola toptheother` series with the air supply chamber,

i and atube extending through the air supply chamber, and adapted to connect the lirst series of chambers with the chimney, all said parts,y substantially as described and 'for the purposes set forth. Y

In testimony that I claim the foregoingl have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of September, 1892-.

` ALBERT G. SCHMIDT.
